5 thoughts on “Weekly Wrap-Up? Yes Please!”

So, I hope you get an email alert or something when you get a comment on an old post…I kept meaning to come back and comment here and never did!
I know you loved “Yes, Please” and “Bossypants” (as did I, and Mindy Kaling’s book is next on my list!), and ever since we bonded (I like to think, lol) over “Center of Winter,” I knew I had a recommendation for you when I recently finished these two books.
As an RD, a food lover, and someone who enjoys good writing, I’d be surprised if you don’t give two thumbs up to “Born Round” by former NY Times restaurant reviewer Frank Bruni. Great memoir about love of food and loving through food, coming to grips with emotional eating, etc.
I also just finished Andie Mitchell’s “It Was Me All Along” and really enjoyed that as well. Such a gifted and honest writer, such an interesting and inspiring story. So much more than just another weight loss book! No gimmicks, no diets, just coming to terms with self and food, and how so often the two are so closely entwined.
I hope you get a chance to read these, and that you enjoy them.

We did bond, and I do get an alert for comments, though now I’m worried that you won’t get an email that I’ve responded.

I added Andie’s book to my Amazon wishlist last week and I literally -today- just put Born Round into my purse to read on the train. I am basically dying over how on the same page you and I are! <– that was a book pun!!

No, no email, but of course I came back to check! And, wow, we ARE on the same page (I see what you did there).
I’m a native New Yorker who lives in Queens and spent quite a number of years living on Long Island, so we’re even closer than you think. Sometimes when I’m reading on my way to work on the F train, I think of you and wonder what you’re reading on the LIRR!
Love your blog. Love seeing you eat real and varied food (I have a long and complicated history with food and weight, and your approach to eating is helpful and what I aspire to someday be able to do myself). Love the way you write. And love what you read!
